There’s something truly majestic about a cherry vanity, something that modern vanities simply cannot replicate. To really understand this, we may need to go back in time. About a century ago, before the invention and proliferation of cheap plastics, wood was still the reigning king of furniture materials.
Because the “assembly line” was not yet a widely-used system, wood craftsmanship was a truly valuable trade that required ample artistry and expertise. Making a cherry vanity involved lots of care and pride, and artisans poured themselves into their work. And while many vanities were imitated or copied, they were never mass produced. Because of this, all of these vanities had their own unique character and personality. The owners of a cherry vanity had the pride of knowing that they possessed a unique vanity that was built just for them.
We weren’t lucky enough to have one when I was a child, but I remember my grandparents having one. It stood about five feet tall, and it had a dark stained finish. The legs of the vanity were shaped like big bear paws, as I remember. It was truly one of a kind, and I remember those bear paws clearly to this day. That’s what an antique bath vanity is supposed to do. A vanity should not just grab your attention, but it should leave a mark on your mind as well. When I walk into a room that has an antique vanity in it, for a moment in my mind, I can travel back to a time when things felt real, when things were all well crafted and handmade and genuine. A time when highly skilled craftsmen took great pride in their work and built a beautiful cherry vanity that would stand the test of time.
I hope you don’t misunderstand me, I realize that modern machine production methods do in fact allow more people to enjoy these goods at a more affordable rate. But I do know for a fact that quality was sacrificed in the name of progress for quantity. Having a cherry vanity helps me feel a connection to my ancestors in a way that simple photographs can’t quantify. It takes me to a place where there are no automobiles, no deadlines, and a man or woman could slow down and enjoy life to the fullest measure.
You should really think about investing in a charming cherry vanity, if you’re like me and you believe that a great vanity is representative of its owner. A house is just a thing made of wood, brick, and stone. A home is a living thing that you bring life to with yourself, your family, and your furnishings.
